Rigidity of Rank-one Factors of Compact Symmetric Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the decomposition of a compact-type symmetric space into a product of factors and show that the rank-one factors, when considered as totally geodesic submanifolds of the space, are isolated from inequivalent minimal submanifolds.

Griffiths-harris Rigidity of Compact Hermitian Symmetric Spaces
I show that any complex manifold that resembles a rank two compact Hermitian symmetric space (other than a quadric hypersurface) to order two at a general point must be an open subset of such a space.
متن کاملA characterization of irreducible symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings of higher rank by their asymptotic geometry
We study geodesically complete and locally compact Hadamard spaces X whose Tits boundary is a connected irreducible spherical building. We show that X is symmetric iff complete geodesics in X do not branch and a Euclidean building otherwise. Furthermore, every boundary equivalence (cone topology homeomorphism preserving the Tits metric) between two such spaces is induced by a homothety. As an a...
متن کاملQuasi-flats and Rigidity in Higher Rank Symmetric Spaces
In this paper we use elementary geometrical and topological methods to study some questions about the coarse geometry of symmetric spaces. Our results are powerful enough to apply to noncocompact lattices in higher rank symmetric spaces, such as SL(n,Z), n ≥ 3 : Theorem 8.1 is a major step towards the proof of quasiisometric rigidity of such lattices ([E]). We also give a different, and effecti...
متن کاملL-Spectral theory of locally symmetric spaces with Q-rank one
We study the L-spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on certain complete locally symmetric spaces M = Γ\X with finite volume and arithmetic fundamental group Γ whose universal covering X is a symmetric space of non-compact type. We also show, how the obtained results for locally symmetric spaces can be generalized to manifolds with cusps of rank one.
متن کاملOn Lower Bounds on the Size of Designs in Compact Symmetric Spaces of Rank 1
The concept of t-designs in compact symmetric spaces of rank 1 is a generalization of the theory of classical t-designs. In this paper we obtain new lower bounds on the cardinality of designs in projective compact symmetric spaces of rank 1. With one exception our bounds are the first improvements of the classical bounds by more than one. We use the linear programming technique and follow the a...
